Chapter 2709 You Have To Do This
The development of Norton Corporation was the main priority at the moment, and Della would still kick up a fuss even if Larry were to choose her.
“I don’t just want you to support him. I want you to also give him a push!” Della shouted with a vicious look in her eyes.
What does she mean by that? Joan looked at her in shock and confusion.
“Larry may refuse to marry me right now, but I’m sure you know his company wouldn’t have survived without my help, so talk some sense into him!”
That was when Joan realized what Della meant.
She wants me to persuade Larry into marrying her? My goodness, this world sure is full of strange people…
“Ms. Duff, I think you might have gotten the wrong idea here. While I do support all of Larry’s decisions, that doesn’t mean I agree with everything he does,” Joan replied firmly.
I won’t object to Larry marrying Della, but there’s no way I’d persuade him to do so! I do have a sense of pride, after all!
“Joan, you should know how much your word matters to Larry right now! He will never marry another woman without your permission!” Della was so agitated that she started to sound incoherent.
“That’s none of my business.” Joan turned around and began walking off after saying that.
I may be a nice person and all, but I have my limits too!
“You have to do this, Joan!” Della’s voice was as cold as ice.
Joan ignored her and carried on walking, only to have two men appear in front of her, blocking her path.
Who are these guys? What are they going to do? Joan thought to herself as she began to panic.
Della waved at the men from behind, and they began dragging Joan away while she kicked and screamed.
“What are you doing? Let go of me!”
Both Dustin and Abelyn had already gone home long ago, so there wasn’t anyone around to help her.
“Della, you shameless b*tch!” Joan shouted at the top of her voice.
What did she just call me? A shameless b*tch? Heh, I suppose she’s right! I mean, I wouldn’t be resorting to such means if I weren’t one!
“There’s no point in screaming, so you might as well save your strength!” Della said with a sneer as she munched on her food.
“What the hell are you planning on doing, Della? Let go of me!”
“I’ll let you go if you call Larry and persuade him into marrying me. That, or you can spend the rest of your life here.” Della sounded calm yet threatening at the same time.
She’s going this far for the sake of marrying a man? She really has lost her mind! I can’t believe I used to think she was a reasonable and civilized person… Heck, I even thought she had repented and changed her ways! Looks like she’s nothing but a heartless monster! Joan thought to herself and clenched her teeth as she glared at Della.
“What, you don’t want to do it? Fine, you can stay here until you feel like it, then!”
“Wait!” Joan shouted all of a sudden.
“Hmm? You’ve finally thought it through, huh?” Della turned around and asked disdainfully.
“You’re doing this because Larry still has other ways of resolving the crisis that Norton Corporation is facing, aren’t you?” There was a hint of hope in Joan’s voice as she knew Larry wouldn’t have let go of Della if Norton Corporation was truly in such deep water.
Della began to panic upon hearing that.
These two sure know each other surprisingly well! Damn this woman… How on earth is she able to charm Larry to this extent?
“If you don’t believe me, you can always just call up your people to check on things…”
There was no sign of confidence in Della’s voice when she said that, but she refused to admit it in front of Joan.
Oh? Is that so? She doesn’t sound all that convincing though… Joan stared suspiciously at Della.
“Anyway, I’m done wasting my time talking to you. Think about it, and tell me when you’re ready. I suggest you make this decision wisely, Joan!” Della said and walked away.
